I offer for your consideration, as well as for others, the following:I'm not sure about that whole idea. Because Jesus became flesh as the scripture says. Meaning that he had every possibility to sin. And also this other part which is also important to remember. That Jesus tells us that we are to be holy like He is. And the thing about God that's really crazy in my mind is how often He brings himself down to our level.
Look at the Covenants. A covenant is a two-way street. Where God expects from us is what we also expect from God. He puts us on a equal footing with him in the laws and the rules and what is expected of us.
No I'm not saying an equal footing as far as saying that I am God, that's ridiculous. I'm talking about the fact that as an example Jesus gave Peter the authority of his church. And what does he say to Peter what ""YOU"" allow on Earth will be allowed in heaven.
c. A communicatio charismatum or gratiarum. This means that the human nature of
Christ, from the very first moment of its existence, was adorned with all kinds of rich
and glorious gifts, as for instance, (1) the gratia unionis *** persona tou Logou, that is, the
grace and glory of being united to the divine Logos, also called the gratia eminentiae, by
which the human nature is elevated high above all creatures, and even becomes the
object of adoration; and (2) the gratia habitualis, consisting of those gifts of the Spirit,
particularly of the intellect, of the will, and of power, by which the human nature of
Christ was exalted high above all intelligent creatures. His impeccability, the non posse
peccare, especially should be mentioned here.
The *** is the result of idiotic, automatic censorship!
That Latin non posse peccare means “inability to sin”. That is on page 356 of the Systematic Theology in the overall section:
“THE EFFECTS OF THE UNION OF THE TWO NATURES IN ONE PERSON.
Systematic Theology, by Louis Berkhof
